Plus Size Gothic Clothing Wardrobe,

Put simply, you’ll want to dwell within the realm of darkness and wear black. Almost all gothic styles feature black or other dark colors. Classic women’s plus size gothic clothing items include corsets, fishnet tights, ripped shirts, long dresses and shirts, miniskirts, combat boots and studded belts.

Remember to wear what you’re comfortable with. Your favorite band t-shirt paired with black jeans can be as goth as an elaborate vampire get-up. Don’t overdo it!

An important step to nailing plus size gothic clothing is to develop your theme. Old-school goth rock fans may prefer what’s referred to as ‘bat cave’ style: a black leather jacket and dark eye makeup. Add fishnet tights, black boots, and complete your look by adding appropriate accessories such as chokers or bat earrings.

Another compelling theme for plus size gothic clothing is Romantic Goth, which focuses on the beautiful yet dark things in life. Romantic Goths prefer dark corsets, leather skirts, lace dresses, suits or flowing garb. This gothic style does not only involve the colour black, but includes colors such as dark blue, green, purple and deep red. Wear lace chokers or jewelry with deep colored stones, and in contrast to the traditional heavy eye makeup, keep your eye makeup a little softer. Pair the smokey eyes with a deep red lipstick, and wear your hair straight, or in loose curls or soft waves for an elegant yet dramatic finish!

If you possess a taste for darker aesthetics such as red wine, graveyard, bones, dead roses, and gothic jewelry, and if you have a passion for romance and mystery, then this is the style for you!
